THA NKSGI VING M1NCE-MEA T.
As Thanksgiving time draws' near we
realize more than ever how many things
we have to he thankful for. Russia is
suffering from that terrible plague, the
famine. Though not ko great aa that
vssited on Pharaoh and his people, it 5 s
none the lesss terrible to those who suf
fer in it.
How thankful we ought to be that the
"Giver of all good" has given us abun
dant crops, that we may fill our granar
ies and store-houses, but it is to be hoped
we will be ready and willing to help' our
sister states or counties fronAhc bounty
of our store, and not hoard it up as did
the rich man in the Bible, "and thus in
cur the displeasure of our Lord.
No doubt the calamity which lately
befell our beautiful city and left so many
homeless, seemed to us a great punish
ment for which we could in no wise
account. Yet ought we not to be truly
thaukful that it was no worse? "God
worketi all things tojrether for good,"
and though it seems hard sometimes, we
should humbly bow our heads and say
"Thy will bo done."
- We should be thankful that our town
is rising like a pheonix from the ashes
and that our business men are not
despondent, but can look through the
clouds and see a clear and golden sky
'beyond.
Wo should be thankful that at last
nur citizwns have awakened to what was
needed by our farmers, and indeed all
the people in and around The Dalles and
have put on our grand old river, a line
of steamers, and that they realize the
needs of the farmers and shall fulfill
'their wants.
Providence permitting the people's
boat, will not tie- up for six months in
the winter time, but will enable those
living in Washington, off the line of the
railroad, to ship their goods in winter as
well as summer.
Marion Hartland's recipe for mince
meat is "to put in everything but the
rag-bag." I have often thought how
jnucb our lives may be likened to mince
meat. Some lives, in fact, all our lives
-are made up of little things, which,
when put together in the right way, are
: good, and a credit to the maker. Some
lives, I am sorry to say, have the rag-bag
thrown in with the other things.
We that are in comfortable homes,
seated around cheerful fires, or bounti
fully spread tables, with all whom we
hold dear near us, ought to thank our
Heavenly Father that we are not as
some, and ought to endeavor to brighten
even one's life with a morsel of Thanks
giving cheer, seasoned with a "good big"
slice of turkey, and a mince pie. r
IT IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
Comments on Miss Mitchell' engage
ment appear to be the order of the day.
Many of them it seems to us, are very
much out of taste. If the Duke de
Rochefoncould is a true man, why should
not Miss Mitchell give her heart with
her hand, the same as any other young
lady, and in that case all we can do is to
wish for thertl both Che blessings of a
happy life, and that their's may be one
more true home founded ; a blessing,
whereever it is, be it France or America,
and which we trust it may prove, and un
til the contrary is known, for the sake of
American womanhood. Do not let us
hear any more about our girls' being in
the foreign market for sale, and knowing
, Miss Mitchell we do not wonder at the
duke's choii-e.
Minneapolis was chosen as the place
for the next national republican conven
tion, on the seventh ballot and San
Francisco only received 8 votes on the
informal ballot Minneapolis is to be
congratulated because she was the sue
cessful competitor in the race. She
deserved success for ber untiring energy
. and vigorous intent to win. , That city
is more desirable . as a point . for . the
Catherine of : the clans than further
east and the decission will, meet with
the hearty approval of the people.
Three Children Suffocated.
Pabis, Nov. 24. Three children be
longing to an . English family named
Trump were suffocated in their home in
the Rue Dominique,' a red-hot stove
having set fire to the bedstead in the
absence of the children's parents.
- Farmer's Institute at Dnfur.
- Dufub, Nov. 24.
The sixth of a series of farmers' insti
tutes held under the auspices of the
State Agricultural College commenced
proceedings 'at this . place at a little
before 2 o'clock this afternoon. There
were present from the - college H. T.
French, professor .of ( agriculture; F.
Berch Told, professor of history and
drawing and Mrs.- Margaret Snell, pro
fessor of houshold economy.
The meeting was held in the M. E.
church and -opened ithan attendance
of nearly a hundred persons. A. J.
Dufur, sr., occupied the chair and Pro
fessor Berch Told was chosen secret irry
of the meeting. . In the unavoidable
absence of A. J. Dufur jr., his daughter,
Miss Annie Dufur, read the address of
welcome, which was responded to by
Professor H. T. French, who embraced
the occasion to explain that the objects
of these institutes were in no sense
political, but entirely educational. The
general government bad made a liberal
appropriation to establish and maintain
agricultural institutions in the several
states and from this appropriation the
Oregon Agricultural College receives
$32,000 for the current year. Of course
the- state furnilhes the grounds and
buildings. The institutes held this year
have been highly appreciated by the
farmers and have been quite successful
and we hope that before long instead of
six we shall hold forty every yeitr.
The college has a department of agri
culture; one for instruction in household
economy, one for-instruction in. prac
tical and theoretical mechanics. It has
thirteen professors of the various
branches taught, and young men stu
dents can choose between an agricul
tural and a mechanical course.
A farm of 145 acres is attached to the
college which is devoted to experimental
and regular farming, We keep "five or
six breeds of cattle, which we largely
feed on ensilagp made on he farm.
Particular attention is devoted to in
struction in the best methods for des
troying fruit pests. Students are in
etructed'in every branch of theoretical
knowledge connected with farming
while the theory is put into practice by
practical work on the farm. At the ex
periment station v. e test seeds and their
adaptitally to soil etc., we apply and,
test the various kinds of fertitizers study
the habits of insect pests and methods
of their extermination : test the effects
of drainage and experiment on many
other things connected with practical
farming. Bulletins are issued occasion
ally giving the results obtained and these
are freely sent to any one who may apply.
At the close of the Professor's remarks
the choir entertained the audience with
a song entitled the "Merry Mountain-!
eer" which was rendered admirably. j
Miss Peobody then gave a very good
rendition of "Match Boy," after which
Professor Berch Told read a very in
structive paper on poultry raising. An
interesting discussion followed in which
Dr. Vanderpool, Mrs. Wm. Heisler,
Dane Farrington, Seth Morgan and
others took part.
M. J. Anderson followed -by reading a
poem entitled "Hayseed in the Air."
This was followed by two songs by the
pupils of the Dufur graded school and a
selection y the choir, and thus, ended
the first jsession of the institute which
every one pronounced, so far, a success.
